I saw someone posted about Primerica on this page before, but that was 6 years ago. So I'm posting this in hopes of potential clarity from others.
A high-school friend contacted me out of the blue recently and asked me if I'd like to work for Primerica. He repped it up so much that I thought it was an amazing opportunity. I said yes, and the interview I had with the manager was fantastic. However, things are starting to not add up to me: 1. They require a ~125$ (something like that) fee to get onto training 2. Apparently they ALSO deduct 25 dollars from your account every month just for being an employee, I learned about this from my best friend who was planning to take the job with me. 3. I decided to investigate online. There's positive reviews from employees, but there's also a staggering number of incredibly negative reviews left by both customers AND employees, largely complaining of fraudulent activity.
I've never heard of this company before my old friend offered the job to me. I want to trust that an old friend wouldn't try to scam me, but this situation is really starting to shape up into a scam. If anyone has any experience whatsoever with the company and would like to share their experience with it, or even if you have advice at all, I'd love to hear it! I'll be starting on Wednesday and I have a feeling I need to act quick and decide if I want to quit or not before then. I'm 21 years old and live in poverty and covid has made the situation even worse, so I would really appreciate knowing if I should pull through or not :(
EDIT: please excuse me for putting urgent in the title, my bad
EDIT 2: thank you very much to everyone who (kindly) shared their experience and their knowledge with me! This has been an eye opening experience, and thanks to everyone here, ill be able to use the information I've been given to be more careful with this sort of thing in the future. I very much appreciate it!
